Enhance Your Home with Indoor Trees: Expert Care Tips from Cascade Tree Services

Indoor trees are a beautiful addition to your living space, creating vitality and elegance. However, their flourishing depends on maintenance. When nurtured, indoor trees can flourish, refining your air quality, and uplifting your spirits. Our blog post dives into an array of strategies for nurturing your indoor trees ideally.

Indoor Tree Maintenance

Hydration

Too much or too little water can be bad, so you need to use just the right amount. Most indoor trees like to drink every 7-10 days. Before watering, touch the soil. If it feels dry, it's time for water. If it's still damp, wait a bit. Indoor trees don't like sitting in puddles, so make sure their pot has a way to drain extra water. If your plant sits in water, it isn’t good for their roots.

Sunlight

Just like you need sunlight to feel strong, indoor trees need light to grow big and tall. Find a sunny spot for your tree near a window, but not right where the sun blasts in. Think of it like giving your tree a cozy spot with a view, but not too bright. If your tree isn't getting enough light, it might start to look pale or lose its leaves. On the other hand, if it gets too much light, its leaves could turn crispy and brown.

Humidity

Indoor trees love a bit of humidity, which is like a warm hug from the air. If your home feels dry, give your tree some love by misting it with water. Or you can place a water-filled tray nearby. But remember, the water should be a safe distance away from the tree's pot so its roots don't get wet.

Plant Food

Trees need nutrients, just like you need good food to grow strong and healthy. You can be a tree chef by giving them special plant food every 2 to 3 months during their growing time. Fertilizer helps the trees grow big and strong. But don't go overboard, a little bit of fertilizer goes a long way for these leafy pets.

Trim and Shape

Just like getting a haircut, trees need a trim sometimes. If leaves look sick or branches are bumping into each other, snip them off. You can also make your tree look the way you want by trimming it.

Sneaky Pests

Sometimes, unwanted visitors like bugs might try to bother your tree. Keep an eye out for tiny pests like spider mites or mealybugs. If you spot them, don't worry! Just move your tree away from its buddies and use special bug spray to keep the pests away. Also, keep your tree clean by wiping off dust, bugs don't like clean trees!
